Add a separate per-view shortcuts_inhibitor command that can be used
with criteria to override the per-seat defaults. This allows to e.g.
disable shortcuts inhibiting globally but enable it for specific,
known-good virtualization and remote desktop software or, alternatively,
to blacklist that one slightly broken piece of software that just
doesn't seem to get it right but insists on trying.
Add a flag to sway_view and handling logic in the input manager that
respects that flag if configured but falls back to per-seat config
otherwise. Add the actual command but with just enable and disable
subcommands since there's no value in duplicating the per-seat
activate/deactivate/toggle logic here. Split the inhibitor retrieval
helper in two so we can use the backend half in the command to retrieve
inhibitors for a specific surface and not just the currently focused
one. Extend the manual page with documentation of the command and
references to its per-seat sibling and usefulness with criteria.

Add a command to influence keyboard shortcuts inhibitors. In its current
form it can be used to activate, deactivate or toggle an existing
inhibitor on the surface currently receiving input. This can be used to
define an escape shortcut such as:
bindsym --inhibited $mod+Escape seat - shortcuts_inhibitor deactivate
It also allows the user to configure a per-seat default of whether
keyboard inhibitors are honoured by default (the default) or not. Using
the activate/toggle command they can then enable the lingering inhibitor
at a later time of their choosing.
As a side effect this allows to specifically address a named seat for
actions as well, whatever use-case that might serve.

Adding support for the keyboard shortcuts inhibit protocol allows remote
desktop and virtualisation software to receive all keyboard input in
order to pass it through to their clients so users can fully interact
the their remote/virtual session. The software usually provides its own
key combination to release its "grab" to all keyboard input. The
inhibitor can be deactivated by the user by removing focus from the
surface using another input device such as the pointer.
Use support for the procotol in wlroots to add support to sway. Extend
the input manager with handlers for inhibitor creation and destruction
and appropriate bookkeeping. Attach the inhibitors to the seats they
apply to to avoid having to search the list of all currently existing
inhibitors on every keystroke and passing the inhibitor manager around.
Add a helper function to retrieve the inhibitor applying to the
currently focused surface of a seat, if one exists.
Extend bindsym with a flag for bindings that should be processed even if
an inhibitor is active. Conversely this disables all normal shortcuts if
an inhibitor is found for the currently focused surface in
keyboard::handle_key_event() since they don't have that flag set. Use
above helper function to determine if an inhibitor exists for the
surface that would eventually receive input.

For the validation pass of reloading, there is no need to touch swaybg,
swaynag, inputs, outputs, or seats. This drastically improves the speed
of a reload by skipping over the expensive I/O configuration and
handling of wayland clients. As long as the syntax is valid, the
CMD_FAILURE's can be relayed during the actual reload.
A wlr_keyboard_group allows for multiple keyboard devices to be
combined into one logical keyboard. This is useful for keyboards that
are split into multiple input devices despite appearing as one physical
keyboard in the user's mind.
This adds support for wlr_keyboard_groups to sway. There are two
keyboard groupings currently supported, which can be set on a per-seat
basis. The first keyboard grouping is none, which disables all grouping
and provides no functional change. The second is keymap, which groups
the keyboard devices in the seat by their keymap. With this grouping,
the effective layout and repeat info is also synced across keyboard
devices in the seat. Device specific bindings will still be executed as
normal, but everything else related to key and modifier events will be
handled by the keyboard group's keyboard.
This adds a libinput_config change type to the input event for when
the libinput config for a device changes
In order for this to be possible to track, the libinput config code
had to be refactored. It is now extracted into a separate file to
isolate it from the rest of the input management code.
This adds an ipc event related to input devices. Currently the
following changes are supported:
- added: when an input device becomes available
- removed: when an input device is no longer available
- xkb_keymap_changed: (keyboards only) the keymap changed
- xkb_layout_changed: (keyboards only) the effective layout changed
This adds checks to the input_manager_libinput_reset_* functions to
only attempt resetting supported options on reload. This should have no
functional difference to the user, but will remove several `Failed to
apply libinput config: Unsupported configuration option` lines from the
log that can be noisy and potential red herrings.
Add support for configurations that apply to a type of inputs
(i.e. natural scrolling on all touchpads). A type config is
differentiated by a `type:` prefix followed by the type it
corresponds to.
When new devices appear, the device config is merged on top of its
type config (if it exists). New type configs are applied on top of
existing configs.
Use libinput_device_config_tap_get_finger_count to determine whether
a pointer is a touchpad.
swaymsg is also updated to reflect the new touchpad type.
This commit adds support for laptop lid and tablet
mode switches as provided by evdev/libinput and
handled by wlroots.
Adds a new bindswitch command with syntax:
bindswitch <switch>:<state> <command>
Where <switch> is one of:
tablet for WLR_SWITCH_TYPE_TABLET_MODE
lid for WLR_SWITCH_TYPE_LID
<state> is one of:
on for WLR_SWITCH_STATE_ON
off for WLR_SWITCH_STATE_OFF
toggle for WLR_SWITCH_STATE_TOGGLE
(Note that WLR_SWITCH_STATE_TOGGLE doesn't map to
libinput and will trigger at both on and off events)
If a seat does not exist in seat_cmd_cursor, do not create it. A seat
without any attachments is useless since it will have no capabilities.
This changes `input_manager_get_seat` to have an additional argument
that dictates whether or not to create the seat if it does not exist.
This commit mostly duplicates the wlr_log functions, although
with a sway_* prefix. (This is very similar to PR #2009.)
However, the logging function no longer needs to be replaceable,
so sway_log_init's second argument is used to set the exit
callback for sway_abort.
wlr_log_init is still invoked in sway/main.c
This commit makes it easier to remove the wlroots dependency for
the helper programs swaymsg, swaybg, swaybar, and swaynag.
This add errors from calls to `libinput_device_config_*_set` to the
debug log. This may be useful when looking at issues related to input
devices and config settings not working.
The implicit fallback seat config needs to be applied (if created).
Otherwise, the input devices will still be removed from the implicit
default seat on reload when there is any seat config.
This fixes an issue where on reload, all input devices that were added
via an implicit fallback to the default seat would be removed from the
default seat and applications would crash due to the seat having no
capabilities.
On reload, there is a query for a seat config with the fallback setting
set (it can either be true or false). If no such seat config exists, the
default seat is created (if needed) and has the implicit fallback true
applied to its seat config. This is the same procedure that occurs when
a new input is detected.
This makes seat configs work like output and input configs do. This also
adds support for wildcard seat configs. A seat config is still created
in the main seat command handler, but instead of creating a new one in
the subcommands and destroying the main seat command's instance, the
seat subcommands modify the main one. The seat config is then stored,
where it is merged appropriately. The seat config returned from
`store_seat_config` is then applied. When attempting to apply a wildcard
seat config, a seat specific config is queried for and if found, that is
used. Otherwise, the wildcard config is applied directly.
Additionally, instead of adding input devices to the default seat
directly when there is no seat configs, a seat config for the default
seat is created with only fallback set to true, which is more explicit.
It also fixes an issue where running a seat command at runtime (with no
seat config in the sway config), would result in all input devices being
removed from the default seat and leaving sway in an unusable state.
Also, instead of checking for any seat config, the search is for a seat
config with a fallback option seat. This makes it so if there are only
seat configs with fallback set to -1, the default seat is still created
since there is no explicit notion on what to do regarding fallbacks.
However, if there is even a single fallback 0, then the default seat is
not used as a fallback. This will be needed for seat subcommands like
hide_cursor where the user may only want to set that property without
effecting anything else.
input_manager_set_focus is used to set the focus after mapping the view in
view_map. This needs to consider to warp the cursor as well, since for
WARP_CONTAINER, the cursor should warp to the newly created view.
The input manager is a singleton object. Passing the sway_input_manager
argument to each of its functions is unnecessary, while removing the
argument makes it obvious to the caller that it's a singleton. This
patch removes the argument and makes the input manager use server.input
instead.
On a similar note:
* sway_input_manager.server is removed in favour of using the server
global.
* seat.input is removed because it can get it from server.input.
Due to a circular dependency, creating seat0 is now done directly in
server_init rather than in input_manager_create. This is because
creating seats must be done after server.input is set.
Lastly, it now stores the default seat name using a constant and removes
a second reference to seat0 (in input_manager_get_default_seat).
This commit changes the meaning of sway_container so that it only refers
to layout containers and view containers. Workspaces, outputs and the
root are no longer known as containers. Instead, root, outputs,
workspaces and containers are all a type of node, and containers come in
two types: layout containers and view containers.
In addition to the above, this implements type safe variables. This
means we use specific types such as sway_output and sway_workspace
instead of generic containers or nodes. However, it's worth noting that
in a few places places (eg. seat focus and transactions) referring to
them in a generic way is unavoidable which is why we still use nodes in
some places.
If you want a TL;DR, look at node.h, as well as the struct definitions
for root, output, workspace and container. Note that sway_output now
contains a workspaces list, and workspaces now contain a tiling and
floating list, and containers now contain a pointer back to the
workspace.
There are now functions for seat_get_focused_workspace and
seat_get_focused_container. The latter will return NULL if a workspace
itself is focused. Most other seat functions like seat_get_focus and
seat_set_focus now accept and return nodes.
In the config->handler_context struct, current_container has been
replaced with three pointers: node, container and workspace. node is the
same as what current_container was, while workspace is the workspace
that the node resides on and container is the actual container, which
may be NULL if a workspace itself is focused.
The global root_container variable has been replaced with one simply
called root, which is a pointer to the sway_root instance.
The way outputs are created, enabled, disabled and destroyed has
changed. Previously we'd wrap the sway_output in a container when it is
enabled, but as we don't have containers any more it needs a different
approach. The output_create and output_destroy functions previously
created/destroyed the container, but now they create/destroy the
sway_output. There is a new function output_disable to disable an output
without destroying it.
Containers have a new view property. If this is populated then the
container is a view container, otherwise it's a layout container. Like
before, this property is immutable for the life of the container.
Containers have both a `sway_container *parent` and
`sway_workspace *workspace`. As we use specific types now, parent cannot
point to a workspace so it'll be NULL for containers which are direct
children of the workspace. The workspace property is set for all
containers, except those which are hidden in the scratchpad as they have
no workspace.
In some cases we need to refer to workspaces in a container-like way.
For example, workspaces have layout and children, but when using
specific types this makes it difficult. Likewise, it's difficult for a
container to get its parent's layout when the parent could be another
container or a workspace. To make it easier, some helper functions have
been created: container_parent_layout and container_get_siblings.
container_remove_child has been renamed to container_detach and
container_replace_child has been renamed to container_replace.
`container_handle_fullscreen_reparent(con, old_parent)` has had the
old_parent removed. We now unfullscreen the workspace when detaching the
container, so this function is simplified and only needs one argument
now.
container_notify_subtree_changed has been renamed to
container_update_representation. This is more descriptive of its
purpose. I also wanted to be able to call it with whatever container was
changed rather than the container's parent, which makes bubbling up to
the workspace easier.
There are now state structs per node thing. ie. sway_output_state,
sway_workspace_state and sway_container_state.
The focus, move and layout commands have been completely refactored to
work with the specific types. I considered making these a separate PR,
but I'd be backporting my changes only to replace them again, and it's
easier just to test everything at once.
This commit introduces a scroll_button option, which is intended to be
used with scroll_method. Now user can edit his sway config and add an
scroll_button option to device section.
